      Yes, it's pretty hard to beat the WOW deal, at least in relation to the data allowance.

        I have never used all the call credit either.
        WOW pre-paid works out to $17.40 for 30 days ($0.58 a day)
        Great deal.

        Tether with android all the time,don't know about iphone.

        Kogan is a great deal as well,especially with unlimited calls/6GB.But if you want to get the best value you have to pay $299 for 1 year up front.

      Do they allow tethering on iPhone? with Virgin Mobile isn't possible on prepaid.

        This always confused me because I don't understand how they can stop you. Is this an iPhone specialty thing added to make the telcos happy and push apple phones?

        •  
          bazzaa on 02/01/2013 - 15:45

          It's an iPhone thing buried in the firmware. The telco has to set a flag to enable tethering (of any kind, afaik). No restrictions on tethering with Android.

      •  
        heywes on 02/01/2013 - 20:11

        Virgin don't allow phone tethering at all as of the last time I contacted them on my plan and requested it.

      Can the credit be used for international calls? And what is the rate? It seems that I cannot find the information from their website.

        Can the credit be used for international calls?
        http://woolworthsmobile.com.au/terms-conditions

        The $29 Woolworths Prepaid Cap includes $29 Credit and $221 MyBonus and the $49 Woolworths Prepaid Cap includes $49 Credit and $451 MyBonus which can be used for standard national and international calls and text, internet browsing and international roaming.

        International rates - click the link on the page
        http://woolworthsmobile.com.au/woolworths-prepaid-cap/29-woo...

        Also another good thing about Woolworths is that you still get $29 credit that can be used for anything like premium SMS (which works for games like League of Legends)

        A maximum of $29 (for a $29 recharge) or $49 (for a $49 recharge) can be used for premium SMS and content, Optus Zoo content usage charges, video calling, 966 and satellite calls (excluding Pivotel).

    Virgin Mobile also allows international calls within their included credit too. Very expensive rates however good for if you have wasted credit left over.

        on postpaid you can make international calls. You are talking about roaming.

        spot2001 on 02/01/2013 - 13:14

        I think abc means the international calls you make from within Australia is included in the credit. If you travelling overseas and making calls from there using your virgin mobile, it's consider roaming and not included in this BYO plan.

  •  
    spot2001 on 02/01/2013 - 12:53

    The other things is if you want pre-paid 4G, currently only Virgin/Optus and Telstra has it, with Virgin been cheapest at the moment.
    All the other Optus resellers doesn't have 4G prepaid yet.

    Can't beat TPG

    For TPG Broadband customer same package for $14.99

      No LTE offering from TPG.

        Another vote for Vaya. Very good deal. So cheap, you can't beat it. Yes, no LTE, but Optus 3G has been working fine (better than when I was on Voda)!

  •  
    bargainr on 02/01/2013 - 13:18

    Very tempting as it includes LTE.. but the TPG inclusions are better. Guess I will do without LTE for now.

    •  
      bargainr on 02/01/2013 - 14:23

      I'm just wondering why I got negg'd? If anyone knows of anything equivalent to TPG cost wise (with international included and higher cap limits) but on LTE I am all ready to switch.

      •  
        hesokay on 02/01/2013 - 14:28

        have you tried viber for international?

        LTE isn't worth the switch imho, its overrated

        •  
          bargainr on 02/01/2013 - 15:03

          Viber was buggy for me, haven't tried it again for ages - will give it a spin.

  •  
    ChimDen on 02/01/2013 - 13:26

    so many plans people recommend sound good!
    so what is the best plan for me? is there a website for comparison?
    Im after long expiry date because I only do around average 500mb/month and $50 worth of calls/month are enough.

    •  
      hesokay on 02/01/2013 - 13:48

      i think LTE(4G) is overrated, i can get 35Mbps in melb docklands area, but it really drains the battery
      if you want LTE, i would go with virgin who use the Optus network

      otherwise, kogan is the best price imho

      also check out the kogan $9.99 for 2GB data plan
      if you use skype/viber or if your contacts are on iMessage you may survive with just data

      •  
        bargainr on 02/01/2013 - 14:26

        I worry about battery drain on LTE, but keen to try. Not keen enough to lock in on a contract though.

    •  
      bargainr on 02/01/2013 - 14:28

      I use whistleout (you see them advertising on here from time to time). It doesn't seem exhaustive as some of the cheaper carriers are missing - but is helpful to see options. Otherwise, lifehacker publishes lists from time to time at various price points.

  •  
    umadbrahhhh on 02/01/2013 - 14:32

    probably the best price for 4G/LTE. Although i heard somewhere that LiveConnected and other Optus networkers will be getting 4G soon.

    •  
      littlemissbargain on 02/01/2013 - 15:08

      Yes, LiveConnected's getting LTE but they have raised their prices - pretty much closer to the big telcos now, so no point going with them anymore. A lot of people were really upset at that cos they used to be really cheap…

    Beware the sky-high excess charges. On woolies prepaid, if you run out of minutes you just recharge earlier. On this one, you get a nice surprise with the next bill, or carefully monitor and stop using it.

    •  
      aldoduco on 02/01/2013 - 17:01

      That is how prepaid and postpaid works. So, not sure what's your point

      • +2 votes
        manic on 02/01/2013 - 17:05

        Its worth reminding people, as too many get caught.
        "$250 @ $1/minute included" is much better on prepaid than on postpaid, (due to the excess risk) whereas the naive buyer would think them similar.

    Joined Virgin BYO 29 last July, paying $19 per month for $450 and 2.25GB,better value than the plan now, the good thing for virgin is you can rollover your unused credit and make international calls and sms, so I no longer need Skype.

    As is becoming increasingly clear, the trouble with this type of deal is Woolworth Mobile (A200.00 per annum) brought all this to obsolete ;

    $19 Plan: 1.25GB Data
    $29 Plan: 2GB Data
    $39 Plan: 3GB Data
    $49 Plan: 4GB Data

    whilst Koganmobile (A300 per annum ) puts all this rubbish/outdated away ;

    $29 Plan: $450 Credit
    $39 Plan: $450 Credit
    $49 Plan: $700 Credit

    There really are no redeeming features and the whole format is in need of a change.

      Not entirely. I'm with Woolworths Mobile and you don't get LTE which is a big problem when I finally get around to upgrading, This deal is pretty good if you want LTE.
